We love our dogs, they are more than pets to us, they are family members. We have three dogs and they are each very unique in personality and size. Delilah is our big dog, a purebred American Bulldog and a loyal protector. Delilah will watch the kids and if any animal or person tries to harm them, they won’t live to tell the tale. As parents we feel blessed to have a dog that will protect our kids, it makes us feel great to know she’s around since we live out in the country.
Next, we have Zoey, our West Highland White Terrier. Zoey is always there to “help” with any project. She is also a fearless protector of our family and our home. In typical terrier fashion she will be tenacious and persistent if some critter starts hanging around that should not be. This is not always a great thing, a couple of weeks ago she had it out with a skunk and she was on the losing end. Those skunks have an unfair advantage!
Last but not least we have tiny Sassafras (Sassy), our Maltese. Sassy is a sweetheart who does not understand she is tiny. If the other dogs go off to bark at some intruder, she will go right with them and give it her all. Her spirit is much bigger than her stature.
The way we love our dogs, we want nothing but the best for them. We make it a priority to feed them wholesome food and treats that will allow them to live a long, vibrant life. The other day I was in Walmart and saw new dog treats called Nudges® Grillers. The clear window package showed the treats and they looked just like cuts of steak and chicken that had been freshly grilled. I am more aware of the ingredients in dog foods and treats and was pleased to see that Nudges® were made in the USA with only USA sourced protein! The number 1 ingredient in the treats was real meat and they did not have artificial flavors or fillers! These were treats I could feel good about feeding our girls, I picked up a few bags and headed home!
I was really impressed upon opening them, they smelled just like fresh grilled meat and they had a similar texture. One of my young sons asked if this was okay for him to eat, lol. I told him no, but I think that is a great testimonial for how similar they were to beef or chicken fresh off the grill. I like them because when we are grilling outside the dogs sit and sniff and want to be included. Nudges® Grillers Beef and Chicken treats give us a way to include our dogs in our BBQ. You can learn more and see the full product line up at nudgesdogtreats.com
The taste tests went over great and they just loved the beef and chicken Grillers. Nudges® also has Sizzlers in Chicken Bacon and Beef & Cheese. The Grillers and Sizzlers are available in 3 oz or 18 oz bags. Given our brood, we went with the 18 oz. bags. I noticed a value size of Jerky Cuts by Nudges® that I want to pick up the next time I am in Walmart. Check out nudgethemback.com and see how other dog lovers are nudging their best friends and family members back. You can also stay in touch with them on their Facebook page. So tell me, have you seen the new Nudges® dog treats? Which ones do you think your dog(s) would like the most? If you have tried them, I would love to hear what you and your dog thought of them.
Is it wrong to dip tender, sweet marshmallow Peeps in melted chocolate? If it is…I’m guilty! I wanted to share how much fun we had with colorful Peep Bunnies and Chicks, some sticks, sprinkles, decors and our imagination. There are so many fun things you can do with Peeps but making Peeps Pops has to be near the top of the list.
So easy and you can decorate and make a nice centerpiece for a dessert buffet with them. Just melt your chocolate and put your Peep on a stick and let your imagination run. You can dip them totally and sprinkle with decors and sprinkles or you can dip just the bottom of the chicks so it looks like a nest.
Whatever you decided this is a fun and tasty Easter project the whole family can take part in! So grab some Peeps and get read for some dipping and sprinkling in the kitchen festivities. With Peeps, chocolate and sprinkles…you can’t go wrong. Later Peeps (sorry couldn’t resist).
With the unofficial start of Summer at the end of this month, cool, refreshing treats are so timely. However, while ice cream on a hot day may be delicious, it can pack on the pounds if you’re not careful. There’s a great way to cater to your ice cream craving with a healthy alternative.
Yonanas, healthy dessert maker takes frozen bananas and other kinds of frozen fruit and turns it into a soft serve style dessert. You simply freeze bananas without the skin along with frozen fruit you can buy like mixed berries, mango, pineapple etc. Let the fruit thaw for about 15 minutes at room temperature and then run it through the Yonanas machine.
I was impressed with how easy it was to make a yummy, healthy treat with the consistency of ice cream. It tasted like a fruity sorbet. You can add chocolate or top with sprinkles or other toppings if desired. For easy cleanup the components are dishwasher safe!

Starting with an original French recipe, Don and Susie Morris (Don-Sue-Mor) introduced madeleines to their Berkeley, California “gourmet ghetto” community in 1976. Together, the creative entrepreneur and the passionate baker created a treat unlike any other—a moist little cake with a fresh, unforgettable taste. Donsuemor continues their tradition of baking delicious bakery treats that bring delight to everyday life.
I was recently sent a box of delicious assorted cookies from Donsuemor to review. Filled with delectable, soft, moist Madeleines, nutty, sweet French Almond Cakes and assorted Biscotti, they were so good I did not want to share! These cookies are perfect to serve with coffee or tea and make a lovely presentation for guests. They’re also a great choice to bring when visiting as a hostess gift or to send to someone special. Donsuemor Madeleines are now available at select Costco stores!

Well, if there was ever a right time to experience a taste of summer, it’s right now. Today was in the high 30’s and I tell you, it felt like a heat wave! Coming out of that frigid Arctic blast was a blessing and to celebrate we made S’mores.
Now we did not gather around the outdoor fire pit but we took advantage of a new Hershey’s product to help us get to yummy super fast. I was selected to receive Hershey’s Chocolate Spread from CrowdTap and we wasted no time in fixing up some Winter S’mores! It was simple to do with graham crackers, Hershey’s Chocolate Spread and miniature marshmallows. The kids enjoyed a sweet treat after coming in from playing in the snow and we all savored a little taste of summer, which was delightful after freezing our tootsies off the last week!
Hershey’s Spreads come in three delicious flavors: Chocolate, Chocolate with Hazelnut and Chocolate with Almond. Click HERE to browse some great recipes using Hershey’s Spreads. So get yourself some today and Spread The Possibilities!

Use Valentine’s Day theme cookie cutters. I chose to use hearts of different sizes and edges.
The dough is so easy to work with.
Prior to baking you can decorate or leave plain to dip in chocolate after baked.
I do not let them over bake and I love that they are soft and not crunchy.
The recipe makes a good amount of cookies. Amount will depend on the size of cookie cutters you use but I have three platters full.
These cookies were calling to Ethan who we told had to wait until after dinner. As you can see from his face and hands, he did not waste any time.
